Working with Randy Edwards, while improving his musical skills, in 1996, he released his first album, “Joe Nichols” under the Intrasound Records production. The result was a short success of the lead single, “ Six of One, Half a Dozen of the Other” and his eventual loss of contract with Intrasound. His second deal of record was with the big banner Warner Bros. Record that also could not earn him much recognition.

After a wait of long three years, Joe signed a contract with the Universal South Records, in 1999, with the help of Brent Rowan. It was the year 2002, that finally the wheel of fame turned his way when he released his album, “Man with a Memory” which later won platinum certification in the U.S. The hit single of this album, “The Impossible” charted to be the number 10 country song of the year 2003, in Billboard which was most requested and played. In the light of this success, his debut album was also renamed by the title of the hit single, “Six of One, Half a Dozen of the Other”.

This platinum album has another hit single, “Brokenheartsville” which topped the Billboard Country Charts in the year 2003. “Man with a Memory” has some other hits as well, each earning fame for Joe Nichols.

In the subsequent years, Joe released many other albums and each of them added fresh breath and dimensions in the field of the neotraditionalist country music as well as to his career. While on tour with Alan Jackson, Nichols released under the same production house, “Revelation” in 2004, which produced hits like, “If Nobody Believed in You” and “ What’s a Guy Gotta Do”. “A Traditional Christmas” was also released in the same year.
